Every reorganization seems to take another piece out of the workplace culture. By now, I expect things to get worse whenever a new restructure is announced.

I do not understand why any manager would not want to use this layoff frenzy to eliminate bad apples from their teams. We should be able to suggest survivor style candidates that they could pick from. Coworkers only, like bravo but anti bravo. That way the worst employees would be chosen instead of whatever d-mb way they are now. In the 16 years I have worked here I could easily identify who should be let go but lacked the authority to make the decision and in general my direct managers were their greatest allies. Currently on my own team one should have been removed and replaced 5 years ago and another doesn't have enough work to fill more than 10 hrs a week at most. Their dead weight would create an opportunity to rehire one competent person.
You’re wrong.Like it or not layoffs get rid of a lot of dead weight thats been hanging around far too long.Lots more layoffs coming before year end and the numbers are HIGH.
@b4 what’s funny is that I’ve witnessed firsthand the most highest paid people on the team are the ones being let go regardless of work ethic.
That’s because all the good, hard working and ethical people get laid off leaving the bottom of the barrel to run things.
